Odaily News: Solana Company (HSDT) has announced its voting stance on the first three Solana Governance Proposals (SGP): supporting the passage of SGP-0001 "Solana Constitution," opposing SGP-0002, which would double the rate of inflation reduction, and opposing SGP-0003, which would change transaction fees from fixed to floating. On-chain voting is expected to begin on August 22.Solana Company stated that it supports the Solana Constitution because the new governance system allows every staker to vote directly, and token holders can always override the votes of the operators they delegate to, which helps institutions participate in network decision-making. Regarding the other two proposals, the company noted that it opposes their current timing, not the direction of the adjustments. The company stated that at a time when institutions are considering entering Solana, they place greater importance on rule stability and predictability. Adjusting core economic parameters such as inflation rates and fees at this stage could make institutions still on the sidelines more hesitant. The company said it would support revisiting discussions on reducing inflation once SOL sees sustained net capital inflows, and would also be willing to reconsider switching to floating fees once the ecosystem has fully adapted.

Odaily News, X-Agent recently published a technical article titled "An OPC Is a Stack, Not a Headcount Story," arguing that as AI significantly reduces R&D and operational costs, the competitiveness of a One Person Company (OPC) should no longer be measured by how much work a single person can complete.The article points out that an OPC with true commercial capability needs to establish a complete closed loop spanning demand discovery, AI production, capability infrastructure, distribution, economic systems, and market feedback.And this is precisely the problem X-Agent aims to solve.At the capability layer, X-Agent leverages MCP to help individual developers productize their capabilities, transforming a project into a service that can be discovered, invoked, and verified by Agents. At the commercial layer, X-Agent further connects Agent distribution and payment infrastructure, enabling services to enter real Agent workflows, with usage-based billing, budget management, payment, and settlement.Meanwhile, the X-Agent MCP Hackathon is also driving this model into practice: developers do not need to start by building an "MCP server" from scratch. Instead, they first prove that a real capability can solve a practical problem, then convert it into a production-grade Agent service through standardization, deployment verification, and security checks.Therefore, what X-Agent is building is not just a development tool, but a framework that helps OPCs complete:Demand discovery → Capability building → MCP productization → Agent distribution → Commercial settlement → Market feedbackUltimately forming a self-reinforcing AI business closed loop.The OPC of the future is not one person taking on all the work, but one person using AI and Agents to organize a complete set of company-level capabilities.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has conditionally approved World Liberty Financial's application for a national trust bank charter, subject to regulatory and policy requirements. Upon approval, the company may operate under the name World Liberty Trust Company, National Association. World Liberty Financial's application documents show that the bank plans to issue USD-backed stablecoins and custody digital assets related to its USD1 token. U.S. President Donald Trump and his three sons are all affiliated with the company, with Trump family entities holding a 38% stake. Senator Elizabeth Warren, along with nine other senators, introduced the Terminating Presidential Banking Corruption Act following the approval. Elizabeth Warren stated that the OCC's move represents one of the most blatant conflicts of interest in the U.S. financial system. In January 2025, an Abu Dhabi investment company backed by UAE National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan purchased a 49% stake in World Liberty for $500 million. Another UAE entity, MGX, previously used USD1 to invest $2 billion in Binance. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily News The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) on Friday granted initial conditional approval to World Liberty Trust Company, National Association, bringing Trump-backed World Liberty Financial one step closer to obtaining a national trust bank charter.In its letter, the OCC stated that World Liberty's charter application met certain regulatory and policy requirements, leading to the initial conditional approval. However, this does not constitute final approval, and the OCC may still rescind the approval.Earlier this year, World Liberty Financial established a new trust company with the aim of applying for a bank charter from the OCC. The company has previously stated that the charter would support its provision of services including stablecoin issuance and redemption, fiat on/off ramps, custody, and exchange.
